Barcelona Player Ratings vs Atletico Madrid :Joao Felix woke up hungry for Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid player ratings! While Blaugrana continues to contend for the title, loanee haunts parent club with outstanding performance.
With a game-winning performance, the Rojiblancos’ record signing helped his team stay within striking distance of the league leaders.
Joao Felix had to be the one. The Barcelona loanee demonstrated on Sunday why, in spite of everything that has happened in his rollercoaster career, he is still held in such high regard. Felix delivered his best performance as a Blaugrana to date in the match against his parent club Atletico Madrid, scoring the game-winning goal to give Xavi’s team a 1-0 victory.
Early on, Barca had plenty of opportunities, but Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha failed to take advantage of them to give their team the lead. But Felix got the much-needed first goal, dribbling down the left and dodging the ball over Jan Oblak. He also didn’t hold back in his celebration!
Throughout the remainder of the match, the Portugal international served as their main creator, darting past defenders, creating havoc down the wing, and tracking back with a vengeance he hasn’t had since moving to Catalunya.
And despite Atleti’s occasional unease, the Blaugrana appeared largely composed in important areas. Ilkay Gundogan, Pedri, and Frenkie de Jong, their midfield trio, merely played through the Rojiblancos’ attacks to make sure Barca never truly lost control of the game.
Felix was tired by the 76th minute, clutching his hamstring and hobbling off the pitch. The Barcelona supporters stood up to cheer what had been an exceptional performance, for the first time since he arrived late in the transfer window.
Barcelona Player Ratings vs Atletico Madrid -The Barcelona players are ranked by GOAL from the Olympic Stadium.
Inaki Pena, custodian and defence (7/10):
had nothing to do before producing outstanding saves late on from a Depay free-kick and a point-blank Correa strike. Marc-Andre ter Stegen is unnecessary, right?
Jacques Kounde (6/10):
returned to a role on the right side. kept the ball moving when necessary and didn’t have a lot of defensive work to perform.
Ronald Araujo (grade: 8):
Magnificent in the air, and regularly risked his life. adores engaging in these physical competitions.
Christensen Andreas (7/10):
an after-warm-up substitution for Inigo Martinez who arrived late. He repelled Atleti’s attempts to attack his side of the pitch.
7/10 for Joao Cancelo:
made one big play, completed a respectable portion of his passes, and mainly got his defensive positioning right. Doesn’t need to help every game to have an effect.
Pedri in the middle (7/10):
smooth on the ball and composed in the middle. at the end, still appeared worn out. Much better after a difficult stretch of play.
Gundogan Ilkay (8/10):
Huge in the midfield foundation. Cut off traffic lanes and escaped the pressure. While Pedri handled the showy stuff, Gundogan skillfully handled the grunt job.
De Jong Frenkie (8/10).
profound across the entire field. Just before halftime, covered a tonne of ground and put in a great block to deny Griezmann. worked efficiently with Gundogan. He is the reason Barca exists.
